The world is an amusement park
I was on my way to the music store today, where I had a quick, introductory listen to Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and I spotted the following:
- A man wearing a tee shirt saying "New Mexico: Cleaner Than Regular Mexico". In "regular" Mexico's defense, I miss your sandy courtyards and chicken barbeques in half-barrels at roadside.
- A lady busking with a 3-or-4-foot-tall harp outside in a mall courtyard. There were no jesters nearby, but I thought of joining as a bard.
- A Maori fella preaching from a bible to an indifferent, bus stop audience. He kept peaking at the bible for lines, then refocusing his gaze to the bus-waiters and continuing on as if the words were his own. I wondered if his gentle accent contributed to the endearing quality of his sermon?

0.01 "horse power" insufficient in high winds
You know you're going to have a great day when you are cycling to work in the morning, and you have to pedal just as hard downhill as you did climbing uphill.
